I have never used Propane Outdoor Grills. Always use Charcoal. I never realized just how much Grease and Drippings and tid Bits of food falls through into the bottom. I keep them in a Bucket and normally dump them out behind the Barn but this time when I was out checking Fence I carried the Bucket up to an old Well Location and dumped it in the Corner. Yesterday I was up checking the fence after the wind storm we had and saw that the Coyotes had worked that pile of Charcoal Dripping and by the looks of it have stopped by many different times. I think in the Future I will be using my Charcoal Drippings as a new set. I will just start piling it against a rock or log to keep them working the side with a Trap.

Drop those drippings and tid bits in a dirt hole and your next visit will have a small crater there. Cooking oil, bacon grease, gets that reaction from predators.

A variation of the campfire set!

You wouldn't be able to keep the coon and possum' out of that here.

i did a campfire set years ago. was on the edge of state game lands. made my ring, burnt some small sticks and dribbled some bacon on it. let it burn out and put 2 #1 1/2 traps down. 2 days later some deer hunter had a good fire going in my fire ring! didn't do the traps much good!

Interesting observation. I have some coal vanes at the ranch there is one spot that the coal is exposed on flat ground. The coal is broken down like fine sand. The coyotes always walk through it because I see the tracks and must be an attraction or means something to them. Turkey and pheasant use it for dusting area.
